ABOUT XG TECHNOLOGY
XG TECHNOLOGY'S BUSINESS
Based in Florida, USA, xG Technology has developed
innovative technologies that the directors believe can
change the building blocks, capabilities and economics of
the communications industry. Its patented technologies can
be applied to almost any type of communication including
voice, data or video in wired or wireless form.
As its first vertical
application, xG Technology has designed a complete mobile
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) network and services
relying on xG Technology specialized base station and
handset product lines. Branded as xMax, these products and
services are for use by regional carriers (internet service
providers, competitive local exchange carriers and
entrepreneurial parties) seeking to deliver wireless mobile
or fixed Internet Protocol services directly to consumers
over licensed or unlicensed spectrum without using the
incumbent circuit switched or coaxial cable networks.
Future releases of the xMax product lines will expand from
mobile VoIP to offer integrated video and data applications.
MARKET AND COMPETITION
There is a wide variety of wireless technologies in the
marketplace. The Directors believe that the key issue
keeping these technologies from achieving greater success is
the price versus performance of existing options. xMax
changes this price/performance relationship by enabling the
delivery of mobile
IP services with less infrastructure using low-cost and
readily available unlicensed radio spectrum.
xG Technology believes that xMax is a viable solution for
mobile VoIP for a number of reasons:
- xMax is an IP solution rather than a circuit
switched solution; this
is a prerequisite for handling the VoIP
application;
- xMax delivers high speed data in the order of Mbps
rather than Kbps,
which is essential for supporting large numbers of
subscribers;
- xMax has a low latency physical layer, resulting
in high network
efficiency;
- xMax's signal profile also allows for improved
range/coverage and
better signal penetration, which is essential for
maintaining call
session reliability; and
- although this feature is not central to the VoIP
application itself,
xG Flash Signal's ability to deliver wireless
signals with far less
RF output power than conventional applications
means that wireless
VoIP handsets will show improved battery life over
other solutions
